- David Raya of Arsenal has shown his worth lately, solidifying his position as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League. It’s quite a feat considering he’s replaced Aaron Ramsdale at the Emirates.
- Over at Manchester United, Andre Onana seems like the ideal modern-day goalie – great at stopping shots and incredibly skilled with his footwork. However, he’s been facing some challenges settling in at Old Trafford.
- With Raya, Onana, and another signing from the 2023 summer transfer window, it’s clear that these three are now among the cream of the crop regarding Premier League goalkeepers.
Ranking factors
The factors taken into consideration are as follows:
- Clean sheets: how many clean sheets they’ve earned at the club strongly indicates their quality. But it’s important to remember that some teams have stronger defences than others.
- Importance to their club – if they are consistently making world-class saves and helping their team every minute, they will be ranked highly, even if they’re not at the best clubs.
- Distribution – as part of modern-day football, goalkeepers must be capable of starting attacks with precision passing into the danger zones.
- Shot-stopping – as the bread and butter of being a goalkeeper, they must be capable of making world-class saves regularly, especially in the hardest league in the world.
